Submissions template for Electronics Letters: title should be no more than 15 words

J. Smith, A. Author, B. C. Author and D. Author

This document gives you guidelines on preparing manuscripts for submission to Electronics Letters, and also provides the rough format of finished articles in order to estimate the length of your Letter. Letters should not exceed three and a half columns in length. Manuscripts can also be submitted in LaTex (please see the LaTex template). The article title should be initial capital, and then lowercase; please avoid using the words new or novel in the title. Include all authors in a single list. The style for the names is: initials (with full stops) and family name, each authors name separated with a comma, precede the final name with and (see the example above). Chinese-style names should be typed as the author wishes his/her name to appear in print. The Abstract should be indented 1 cm, Times New Roman, font size 7.5, and should not exceed 200 words (approx.). It must not include any References. Expand any acronyms used in the Abstract, as well as the first instance of any acronym used in the main text.

Fig. 1 Insert Figure captions below Figures: each sub-Figure should have a separate caption. a Label axes in the format: angle, deg (what axis shows, comma, units) b All Figures should be clear to understand in black and white

Please ensure that Figures are clearly labelled and are of good quality. All Figures are relettered, so inclusion of unlettered originals (at the end of the manuscript or as separate files) is welcomed. Note: if possible, please try to avoid setting line-drawings and photographs in the same Figure since photographs require different processing in order to maintain quality. Fig. 2 All text in Figures should be lowercase, unless the word would normally be capitalised (i.e. LED, or Butler matrix)

Introduction: Please include Section headings; each new Section should have a heading in the style shown. An Introduction and Conclusion are necessary. The main text should be set in two-column format, with a column width of 8.7 cm and a central space of 1.06 cm. Use Times New Roman, font size 8.5, with line spacing of 1.1, and please number all pages. Expand acronyms as follows: electromagnetic interference (EMI) the expansion should not be capitalised, unless the word would normally be capitalised, i.e. fibre Bragg grating (FBG), and the acronym should be in brackets. All future uses of the acronym are not expanded and are not put in brackets e.g. EMI. References should be cited in this format: [1] set in square brackets, such as [1, 2] or [35] please ensure all References are included in the References Section at the end. All References must be cited in the main text (in numerical order). All Figures and Tables must also be cited (in numerical order). Citation of Figures should be as follows: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Figs. 3a and b, Fig. 4 (if any sub- Figure is cited, then all other sub-Figures must be cited). Citation of Tables should be as follows: Table 1, Table 2. Include your Figures and Tables in the main text near the relevant citation. Information on Figures and Tables: Information relating to Figure format is shown in Fig. 1 (see also Figs. 2 and 3).

a b Fig. 3 Zero should always be written 0 (Fig. 3a), do not include decimal places after zero (i.e. not 0.0) (Fig. 3b). Set all legends in boxes within the Figure.

for publication. In the case of PhD theses, please provide as much information as possible, especially the relevant university. Information on Author affiliations: Affiliations appear after the Conclusion and Acknowledgments Section (see below). Please give full affiliations of all authors. Please also indicate which author is the corresponding author by including their e-mail with their affiliation (and not including any other e-mails). This e-mail will be published in the journal, as well as used for editorial work. Conclusion: The Conclusion must be clearly marked as shown. When referring to other Sections in the Letter, please use the Section heading, or describe the relevant Section as the following or preceding Section in relation to the current Section in the text. Acknowledgments: This work was supported acknowledgment here* (grant ABCD-1234X). by *insert

Information relating to Table format is shown in Table 1. Please ensure all Tables are cited in numerical order.

Table 1: Table captions go above the relevant Table, and are not italicised. If all values in a column use the same units, include this in the column heading in brackets rather than after each value Name One Two Proportion (%) 45 55 Frequency (GHz) 64 18 Area (mm2) 12.3 3.4

Fig. 4 Figures must be legible within the limits of the two column format.

Information on equations: All numbered equations such as (1), below, are referred to in the main text using the bracketed number only for example, I in (1) signifies the area. Numbered equations or substantial maths should be set on a separate line from the text, as follows:

DH = [2 I(90, )] / [
(1)

I(90, )d ]

Equation editors can be used, as long as they are in English. All variables must be defined, e.g. the apex angles If an equation is too . long to fit on a single line, then split it over two lines as follows:

This is approximately the maximum length of a manuscript allowed (if it were to fill all three and a half columns). This document is intended as a guide for format and length; your manuscript will be copyedited and formatted further at proof stage.
